<<As for your separation of powers argument, apparently you are not aware that while Congress has only declared war seven times, the United States has been engaged in approximately 200 armed conflicts. In other words, throughout the history of the United States, from the very beginning, the executive branch has engaged in armed conflicts without the declaration of Congress.>>
Well, we're just gonna' disagree on this point.
You feel current US actions can be justified on historical precedent, and I need a strict Constitutional authority to decide who does what and when. (You're pretty fast with the cut and paste. I could only remember 199 armed conflicts.)
<<I don't know what you studied in school but apparently you did not major in law, history or political science. My guess is science or engineering. Bright lines, no nuances. Bright line types tend to find law and politics very frustrating.>>
What's this ? An ad hominem argument ?
In my circles, that's a dead giveaway for weakness in the
prosecution's case. In retort, I'll quote my favorite
cop, Sgt. Joe Friday: "The facts, ma'am, just the facts".
Now it's my turn to guess your background. Only clue I have is your nomme de poste. You any relation to Soylent Green ?
